Hello, I purchased a Nexus 6P off of eBay and the camera is having trouble focusing - all my photos come out blurry. I have another Nexus 6P that's still on Android 6.0 and the camera works flawlessly, every picture seems to come out sharp and in focus. This Nexus 6P I bought off of eBay is on Android 8.01.
The camera on my Android 6.0 Nexus 6P is version 3.2.045.
The camera on my Android 8.1 Nexus 6P is version 5.1.018.17740874.
What do you guys suggest I do?
Thanks.
@elkbath Camera still the same for me since day one. Maybe your glass is dirty or try a factory reset. Try a different camera app. I've had updates that have messed up the camera on other phones and a reset usually clears them up. Just make sure to do a Google sync or manually back up everything.

thanks for the quick reply. I tried factory resetting it to no avail. I've also tried the NX Camera, Open Camera app, and FxCamera app and they all seem to have the same problem with focusing.
I took some comparison photos to show exactly what I mean but it's saying I need at least 10 posts in order to share links so I'm going to come back to this after I post more.
question: how can I get my Nexus 6P that's running Android 8.0 downgraded to match the same Android 6.0 my original Nexus 6P is running? I'm assuming I need to root, correct?
after asking the eBay seller if he had experienced any problems with the camera, he was kind enough to send me this:
"No, I did not have any issues with this phone or camera. I swapped phones when I went to another provider. It has been sitting in the closet for a few months though and I did not look at the camera before selling since it was not a problem before when I was using it. If you are still having issues please let me know. I can refund you if you mail everything back and I will take a look and swap the camera if needed or I can just discount the purchase price since there is an issue."
what do you guys suggest I should do?
Look inside of the camera lens and see if there is moisture.

when you say look inside - do you mean to take apart the camera part and see if there's moisture?

Well no, I think he ment to look closely at the camera lens to see if its clear or foggy(moist).

oh alright got it.
to be fair, the camera on my eBay Nexus 6P isn't that bad, just compared to my original Nexus 6P it seems to be a lot less detailed and a lot harder to get in focus. If I try hard enough and take 2 or 3 photos, I can get pictures that are in focus. Could this be a software issue? I notice there's a difference in the way the HDR+ looks as well.
I'm using the latest update for nexus 6p. My photos look crisp and clear. Try to flash the latest image from google for your device.

You flash it via adb in recovery adb sideload filename.zip or if your do the oem unlock and allow flashing, you can use the flash all executable straight from fastboot.

Hi,
The day when I got my HD2, the camera hasnt been that good.
Sometimes it takex excellent pictures, but many a times it doesnt.
I upgraded to the stock ROM 2.XX and now running the latest Elegancia ROM.
Sometimes the camera just tries to focus and then just takes what is possible.
But yesterday i compared mine with another HD2 (also with the stock ROM) and the other phone takes amazing pictures.
Could it be a Hardware problem?
One more thing that I have noticed.
usually i do not like to set the Image preview on. But many at times, I hear the click and as I decide that the image is taken, the picture appears to be stuck and later refreshes. Turning the Image Preview On resolves this problem.
Its like as if the camera has become faster and more responsive.
Any clues for the image quality? or the Auto Focus ?
I havent tried the registry tweaks etc,
I tried setting ISO to 100 ,
Flicker to Auto,
Image quality to Normal.
Elgancia rom has camera issues I had a problem where they came out really blurry or the flash and the camera would make everything white. If I was you I would flash it back to t-mobile stock rom and check if it makes a difference if not maybe its your phone.
You more than likely have original release HD2 hardware. What color is your reset button? If it's red then you do indeed have first revision hardware, and the camera not working properly is a known hardware fault, and most of the time T-Mobile will replace your device free of charge because it's a known problem.

You think thats what it is ? I got mine the first day it launch and works fine and then flash it to elegancia rom and came out crappy. I will look for some samples photos of stock and the custom. The reception issue I still have it as well my battery last around 8 hr annoying.

Aahh now there is a catch. I am in india, my brother bought this for me from ebay USA. So i guess i will have to live with it. Thank you for this clarification.
Others, please check your phone camera quality. as the other HD2 I have checked has good quality. Otherwise its an amazing phone. It has been the best buy so far.

I dont know that, But I dont think either. My camera issue has been from day one. Elegantia ROM has made my phone faster and more elegant I would say.
But I assure you, I would check back the Stock ROM later and let you know
Meanshile, i would also ask steve about the same.
Or.
Maybe if someone else had this issue and got it fixed ?
Wonder if there is any fix that i can try.
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-HD2-T85...273194?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bac2a you can replace the camera if you wanna get down and dirty.
So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

The CM11 camera has macro mode.
Can anyone provide a link to a legitimate download for the CM11 camera? I'm always a little worried of an apk from a Google search. Lol. Unless it is from a reputable website.

Hi, im on pure nexus android 7.1.1 and when i try to open a photosphere it takes ages to load the photo. It seemed strange, does anyone have the same problem when loading photospheres? Thanks!

Is the picture still located on your phone or only cloud? If the image is loading from your phone, then I'd say you have an issue. Otherwise it looks like a slow internet connection.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 6p. It already worked fine some time ago though. Some update must have broken it...
Here is a video showing the issue in comparison to an old Nexus 5: watch?v=bBxubmO6hbo
The image in the video is an equirectangular panorama with 22258 x 11129 pixels and 81 MB stored locally on the phone.

Hi! nop, no solution, but I’ve been using different roms and the problem is still there. Lowering Panorama Quality in camera options solves the problem.
It becomes faster. But it’s weird that a phone with this specifications has to struggle to see panorama pictures.
Good luck mate!
Roms Used: stock nougat, pure nexus, beta 7.1.2 and currently android O . in every one of them it lags the same way.

hi I have the exact same issue on a freshly installed 7.1.2 (N2G47O) nexus 6p.
Is there a solution for this?
Can it be related to an hardware defect?
Same here on any device since I believe Nougat. I should file an Android bug...
I rarely take selfies, but I noticed yesterday that when I tried to, I couldn't switch over to the front facing camera using the gesture in the camera app or by way of the icon in the camera app.
It acts like it's going to - shows the "flipping" animation, but then just shows the rear camera again.
I've gone as far as doing a factory reset on the phone and going back to all stock settings - same is still happening.
Any suggestions?
Was it after the latest Android update? I had a camera issue after the Android update was installed this morning. The camera gave me a "camera failed" every time I tried to launch it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using XDA-Developers Legacy app
No it was before the one I got just 2 days ago as well. I installed. 3rd party selfie app just now and it just shows a blank screen for the front camera. Betting the camera is hosed...
A little more info - seems the phone thinks that the rear camera is both the front and rear camera....
I installed AIDA64 and the REAR camera is listed twice under devices - and no front-facing camera. Guess that would explain why when I flip from front to rear it always displays the rear camera....
Now the big question - how to fix?

I've googled the hell out of it and haven't found one single peep about it - if it weren't for AIDA64 showing the same camera twice I'd be clueless as to what the problem was!
This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.
Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.
This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

Have there been any updates since this post?
I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
